vImageConvert_RGB16UtoRGB888_dithered(_:_:_:_:)
Converts an unsigned 16-bit-per-channel, 3-channel interleaved buffer to an 8-bit-per-channel, 3-channel interleaved buffer using the specified dithering algorithm.
Declaration
func vImageConvert_RGB16UtoRGB888_dithered(_ src: UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, _ dest: UnsafePointer<vImage_Buffer>, _ dither: Int32, _ flags: vImage_Flags) -> vImage_ErrorParameters
- src:
The source vImage buffer.
- dest:
A pointer to the destination vImage buffer structure. You’re responsible for filling out the Height, Width, and Rowbytes fields of this structure, and for allocating a data buffer of the appropriate size. On return, the data buffer this structure points to contains the destination image data. When you no longer need the data buffer, deallocate the memory to prevent memory leaks.
- dither:
The dithering algorithm.
- flags:
The options to use when performing the operation. If your code implements its own tiling or its own multithreading, pass Kvimagedonottile; otherwise, pass Kvimagenoflags.
Return Value
kvImageNoError; otherwise, one of the error codes in Data Types and Constants.
Discussion
This function supports the following dithering algorithms:
- kvImageConvert_DitherNone
Doesn’t apply any dithering. This algorithm rounds the input values to the nearest representable value in the destination format.
- kvImageConvert_DitherOrdered
Adds precomputed blue noise to the source image before it rounds the input values to the nearest representable value in the destination format. The vImage conversion functions support uniform and Gaussian noise by including kvImageConvert_OrderedUniformBlue and kvImageConvert_OrderedGaussianBlue, respectively.
- kvImageConvert_DitherOrderedReproducible
Returns the same result as kvImageConvert_DitherOrdered, but uses the same offset into the blue noise for each call.
- kvImageConvert_DitherFloydSteinberg
Applies Floyd-Steinberg dithering to the image.
- kvImageConvert_DitherAtkinson
Applies Atkinson dithering to the image.
